Mortar bomb found at Lorca rubbish treatment plant

This is the third such incident at the premises in the last 2 years

The Guardia Civil were called out on Thursday morning to the Limusa waste treatment plant in Barranco Hondo, in the municipality of Lorca, after operatives discovered what appears to be a mortar bomb among the rubbish which was being sorted.

The role of the Guardia was to supervise the evacuation of the premises while bomb disposal personnel made their way to the plant from Murcia.
